President Trump on Sunday quoted Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton supporting border security, pushing Democrats to relent in the standoff over spending on a border wall.

The president used the quotes to hammer home his message that “walls work.”

In a series of tweets, Mr. Trump quoted Mr. Obama in 2005 saying, “We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected, undocumented, unchecked.”

He quoted Mrs. Clinton in 2015 saying, “I voted, when I was a Senator, to build a barrier to try to prevent illegal immigrants from coming in.”

Mr. Trump has argued that Capitol Hill Democrats only oppose his $5.6 billion request for border security, including a wall or barrier on the southern border, to stop him from fulfilling a top campaign promise.

The standoff over border security spending has resulted in a partial government shutdown now in its 16th day.

White House and congressional negotiators were scheduled to meet Sunday after scant progress was made in a sesson Saturday.

The president had not backed off the $5.6 billion figure and Democrats remained determined to deny funds for a “border wall.”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has said a border wall is “immoral.”

Mr. Trump headed Sunday to Camp David to meet with White House staff about the border security issue and other 2019 priorities.

“We have to build the wall or we have to build a barrier,” Mr. Trump told reporters as he left the White House. “It’s a very important battle to win.”

Mr. Trump stressed that he had accepted the need for a steel bollard-type barrier instead of a concrete wall, which he promised during the 2016 campaign.

Mr. Trump has vacillated on what to call the border barriers he wants to build. However, he recently acknowledged that the Department of Homeland Security does not want a solid, concrete wall on most parts of the border.

Corrugated steel barriers on the border is what Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton voted for when they were senators who helped pass the 2006 Secure Fence Act.

We have reached a point in this country when politicians like Obama and shrillary can say something and critize someone who says the same thing a few years later. This can only be accomplished with the media shielding for these hypocrites and treating the American people like brain dead sheep. Unfortunately there will be an never ending supply of deceitful media people being turned out from our liberal universities.

The problem is that $5B won’t come close to building a true wall. And now Trump is in the position that he will have to concede something to the Libs to get this funding. So, we’re going to give in on something to get $5B that won’t even solve the problem? This is a mess

A mess of the demoncrats’ creation. If they had agreed in 2018 to President Trump’s immigration proposal, allowing green cards for the precious “dreamers” along with a 10 – 12 year path to citizenship for those who are actually law-abiding, productive, tax paying, and no longer illegal aliens; we’d be well underway with construction of whatever barriers ICE deemed appropriate for the various sections of the border.

Unfortunately, the only use for the “dreamers” which the demoncrats had was if they were going to become another 800k voting citizens before the mid-terms [not 2028 or later], so the demoncrats refused the best deal that the “dreamers” have ever been, and probably ever will be, offered.

Since the mid-terms, what have you heard the demoncrat leadership say about the “plights of the dreamers”???? Crickets.

The hypocrisy that characterizes the Democrat Party is clearly evident in the dramatic change in the party’s position from favoring strong border security in past years to its present-day support of illegal immigration, weak border security, and sanctuary cities. Although the party’s leaders claim this change is motivated by humanitarian concern for the illegals who are fleeing the poverty and gang violence of Central America, the truth is that the Democrats have implemented a clever plan to flood the nation with illegals that, once they or their descendant’s are able to vote, will overwhelmingly support the Democrat Party. Unless the Trump Administration can dramatically reduce illegal immigration, accelerate the deportation of illegals, and put an end to sanctuary cities, the U.S. is on its way to eventually becoming a nation that is permanently governed by the Democrats and their progressive policies.
